- INTRODUCTION
- This is a very simple coloring book program designed especially for
- children. You simply use the mouse pointer to select a color then
- use the pointer to color the drawing. You can save the pages
- you've colored under a different name or you can get another page.
- You can also draw your own pages.
-
-
- USING THE MOUSE
- This program requires a Microsoft (tm) mouse. If you have trouble
- using your mouse with this software try pressing the F2 key while
- in the program. This will change the mouse horizontal sensitivity.
- To change it back press F3.
-
- To select major options (those always shown on the screen) just
- place the mouse cursor on the option you desire and press the left
- button. To select suboptions (those that appear in windows after
- you select a major option) place the cursor on the option you
- desire then press the left button. This will highlight the
- suboption. Now press the left mouse button again to select the
- suboption.
-
-
- SELECTING COLORS
- At the top of the screen you'll see 32 color choices. Place the
- mouse pointer on the color you desire then press the left mouse
-
-
-
- -1-
-
- button to select it. The selected color will be displayed at the
- bottom of the screen.
-
- After you've selected a color, place the mouse pointer on the
- drawing where you want that color then press the left mouse button.
- Your selected color will stay in effect until you choose another.
-
- Any of the colors can be covered over except black and black/gray
- checks. Once you use these two colors they become permanent.
- Therefore, I recommend you always store your page before using
- either of these colors just in case you decide it's not the color
- you want. If so, you can recall the page you stored previously.
-
-
- FILE
- This option contains four suboptions. These are Get a File, Store
- a File, Delete a File, and Exit.
-
- GET A FILE
- Use this option to select a new colorbook page/file. Use the mouse
- to select the option as described above. You'll be shown a list of
- pages or files to choose from. Use the mouse or arrow keys to
- highlight the page you want then press the left mouse button or the
- ENTER key. The page you selected will be displayed on your screen.
-
- STORE A FILE
- Use this option to store pages you've already colored. After you
- choose this option you'll have to type a file or page name for your
- drawing. When you type a colorbook page name to store, do not use
- an extension. For example, use something like mypage10 but not
- mypage10.gfl. The gfl will be added to the end automatically.
-
- DELETE A FILE
- Use this option to delete a file you no longer want to keep.
- You'll be shown a list of all the colorbook files. Use the mouse
- to choose the one you want then press the left button or the ENTER
- key. As always, press ESC or the right mouse button to escape from
- the option if you change your mind.
-
- EXIT
- Use this option to exit the program. Be sure you save your files
- before you quit.
-
-
- CLEAR
- Use this major option to erase all graphics in the drawing box. Be
- careful that you don't erase anything you want to keep.
-
-
- DRAW
- Use this major option if you want to draw your own colorbook
- pictures. After you click on this option you'll be presented with
- several options at the top of the screen. You can select straight
- lines, boxes, circles, ovals, or freehand drawing. All drawing
-
-
-
- -2-
-
- will be done in black. When you're done drawing just select the
- QUIT DRAW option to return to the main colorbook screen.
-
-
- PAGE TITLE
- The current page name will always be displayed at the bottom right
- of the screen. Instructions will always be displayed on the bottom
- row of the screen.
-
-
- PRINTING
- You may print copies of your pages to your printer using you
- graphics utility that comes with DOS. If you want to do this you
- must load the graphics utility before you run Dr. Motes Colorbook.
- To do this from DOS type GRAPHICS PRINTER /R then press ENTER.
- Substitute your printer type name for the word PRINTER. For
- example if you have an HP Deskjet printer then use DESKJET where
- I've used PRINTER. If you have an HP Laserjet then use LASERJET.
- If you have a standard dot matrix printer try leaving that part
- blank. For more information on printer types consult your DOS
- manual under the heading GRAPHICS.
-
- I assume you'll want the printed version to have black lines on a
- white background. In this case you'll need to color everything on
- the page bright white before you print it. To print your page just
- press the SHIFT key then press the PRINT SCREEN (or PRINT) key
- before releasing the SHIFT key.
-
-
-
- To escape from the program press the right mouse button or the ESC
- key. When you're asked if you really want to exit the program
- press either "y" for yes or "n" for no.
